The Anime Chat Thread (Nerd Warning)

[thatphysicsguy]

I just finished watching samurai champloo the other night. The last episodes got a bit ridiculous, but I still absolutely LOVED the show. Everything about it was just plain beautiful: the writing, art style, story, music, everything was so well done!

Now I'm going to start cowboy bebop and fullmetal alchemist. Gotta hit the essentials. Also going to look into "the tatami galaxy" one of these days it came highly recommended from a friend.

I just finished watching "Nanatsu no Taizai" and I really enjoyed it. I think it has real potential to be the next "Bleach", "Naruto", or "One Piece". Maybe a "Fairy Tail". It has huge potential.

Do you like anime with a whiney kid who somehow gains powers beyond belief and cries because he is so powerful? That is what it feels like with a lot of the shonen anime that has been coming out recently.

Then what about anime with legendary bad asses that are framed and in hiding for ten years. Then when they start helping out, everyone either under estimates them or over estimates themselves. What about villains that piss you off royally and makes you want to climb in the anime and punch them yourselves. Does it have decapitations, blood and drunken brawls. Yes. Plenty of laugh out loud moments. A good plot with good character development. Great sound track and art. This is definitely an anime you should check out.

True, I did take a 4 year hiatus from anime until my sister of all people got me back into it last year. I usually watch it on and off like one week I'll watch something 3-4 episodes all week and then nothing for two weeks.

How do you guys watch anime? Like on your phone, laptop etc
I just go on kissanime cause its the only site that works on my xbox 360. It's super frustrating cause the xbox's 1080 support is garbage always going into "cannot play video file" or "file corrupt" when I'm trying to stream it in HTML5 mode. Some days it'll pay 3 episodes fine and some days it just doesn't want to play anything. I've actually thought about investing in airplay stuff, but I said whatever and just DL the files off of kissanime and stick a usb in my blue ray player and watch it through that now.

I watch DVD's or download torrents. I only watch subbed, I can't stand dubbed anime. I have a 55" Panasonic Plasma TV in my bedroom and in my living room. I pop a DVD in blue ray(PS3 I don't think PS4 plays dvd's, I haven't tried it yet.) Or hdmi cable to my laptop with wireless mouse. I use windows media player on my computer, with K-lite codec pack. And I typically wait until the anime is complete before I watch it. I don't have the patience to watch an episode from week to week. And I buy DVD's of the anime that I downloaded and really liked.

We might have been watching anime longer than you so the older stuff you are watching now we saw when it was new. I typically watch two or three episodes minimum a day when I am watching something new so it doesn't take long to get through a series. Plus I don't watch regular television other than the news.

Unico was pretty epic when I watched it as 6 year old,
maybe it's still epic you guys watch this?

Lol, I tried watching the youtube video. I could see me liking it when I was 6, not so much now.

IDK how some of you guys run out of stuff to watch, I have to keep a to do list of animes to watch lol

yea rob i recommended that one. Just finished last week didn't disappoint. Came here looking for something else to watch.

"Log Horizon 2" is my next watch, I really enjoyed the first season so I am fairly confident it will be good. I have also read really good things about "Nanatsu no Taizai". So that will be after that. They both end in a week so there won't be a long wait if any wait at all by the time I reach the last episode.

Have you seen "Nodame Cantabile" Pare? If you liked "Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso", you might like it.

Started watching Soul Eater, something about the artwork just bothered me for the first few episodes but it grew on me. Pretty sick show actually, wish I watched it sooner. The dub is actually pretty good.

I watched a bit "Death Parade", it's interesting. But I hope there's more to it than repeating the whole scenario but with different twists. It's worth a look.

Tokyo Ghouls: Root A just got a little better, they better deliver or else.

Same. Except i'm too lazy to make a list and just try to remember all the anime I'm keeping up with.

Side note, I just finished Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso and even though it was kinda fruity, I have to say, them feels.....

There's allot of anime that's just plain shit.

I haven't watched any anime in a while. I bought Dragon Age Inquisition and have been kind of hooked on it. I was not feeling well yesterday so I figured I would just watch a few episodes of anime. Well that turned into a marathon. "Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso" is really good, one of the best I have seen in a while. I highly recommend it. Someone mentioned it on here before when it had just started sometime late last year. They said it was good, I agree. The anime is over now, 22 episodes. Great art, music, and story.

[thatphysicsguy]

Nothing has caught my eye in a little while. Of course I just spent the past few weeks powering through Avatar TLA and TLOK... No ragrets.

I finished a run through of those a couple weeks back. Never really followed the show before and now so sad that they aren't making new episode :[

[PFCRayB]

I can't wait for a new season of "Another"

I recently finished Paranoia Agent, and I'm currently getting delved into Soul Eater and Durarara!! as a side anime. Paranoia Agent just gave me the chills and was such a thought provoking story with very interesting characters.
